Inspired Color, Hawaiian Style: Natures Paint Swatches Vol II

By
Real Estate Agent with HI Pro Realty LLC RB-21531 RS-76763

In continuation of my previous blog celebrating Earth Day and the inspiration the natural world provides-I have assembled similar natural tones in this collection of swatches collected from last weeks hike into the Waianae Valley on Western Oahu. Greens and browns with highlight shades.

The Lau a Limu photo is of wild coffee leaves and moss covered lava rock that carpet this particular part of the forest floor.

The second Photo is of the pealing bark of the Eucalyptus tree. I particularly enjoy the variations in blue-greens with the contrasting red-browns in the bark.

That was quick ~ yet just as beautiful as Part 1.  Can I attend the Kimo School of Photography?

Kimo- The eucalyptus are the colors I'm doing in my own bedroom, which is funny because I am highly allergic to eucalyptus! And mahalo nui loa for the Project Playlist link, I put together a wonderful collection, and I included the one by Israel!

Elaine: Yes, Project Playlist conviently solves the copyright issues and the music selection is immense.

Lisa: Thanks for your feed back.

Kimo & Elaine - how weird... I just painted the color of Eucalyptus (3rd color - the blueish one) in my bedroom on Sunday... the color was actually a Sherman Williams Historic Charleston color called Summers Breeze.

My dining room is also painted a similar color to Lau a Limo (the last one - teal color) it's another Historic Charleston color called Peacock Plume.

BTW - I have this CD Kimo... it's great! (Somewhere over the rainbow is playing)

Hi your blog is too good, I was wondering from where the song plays, then I noticed your playlist. Good work.
